New Broadband Offering to Support In-Country Network Applications
across Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South Asia
LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 19, 2017--
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), operator of the world’s first Globalized
Network and leader in integrated satellite communications, and UHP
Networks today announced a new service powered by Intelsat EpicNG.
UHP Networks is introducing RUN, a FaaS broadband data solution
optimized to take advantage of the maximum efficiency provided by the
award-winning Intelsat EpicNG high-throughput fleet.
RUN is an in-country VSAT service with a cloud-based network management
system. Working together, UHP and Intelsat are uniquely positioned to
deliver this high-efficiency solution to enterprises, telcos and
government users that require a flexible, high-performance
infrastructure. RUN uses UHP’s low-capex, universal routers to provide
an easy-to-operate platform that initially will be available in Africa,
the Middle East, and Central and South Asia.
“RUN is designed to lower the barrier of entry for deploying
high-throughput, in-county VSAT services,” said Vagan Shakhgildian,
President and CEO of UHP Networks. “Combining Intelsat EpicNG’s
improved performance with UHP’s unique, software-definable VSAT platform
addresses the initial cost for private network hardware and makes the
service easier to manage. This enables service providers to
cost-effectively deploy solutions to support both existing and emerging
applications.”
“By powering the UHP RUN service, customers will be able to leverage the
Intelsat EpicNG platform and local infrastructure to enable
more traffic to cost-effectively originate and land in-country,” said
Jean-Philippe Gillet, Vice President and General Manager of Broadband
for Intelsat. “This is another way in which Intelsat’s innovations are
unlocking new and larger applications for our customers. Given our
capabilities, we are uniquely positioned to deliver solutions that
create value for our customers and deliver connectivity to areas that
previously did not have access to broadband services.”
